I think Carrey is one of the great physical comedians of the last 40 years. Should have been a successor to Keaton, Lewis and the others. His work on the mask was unbelievable. Hard to tell where he ended and the special effects began. His facial contortions made his impressions the best after Frank Gorshen retired.
Somewhere along The Truman Show he decided her had to be a serious actor and I don’t know much about his personal life. He sure got off track career wise. I never expect these people to be conservative, but I cannot watch him now without thinking he’s very disturbed.
His clip at the AFI award for Meryl Streep is a classic. I have watched it a dozen times and still laugh out loud.
The pen is rrruuuu—
I enjoyed his physical comedy too. But his admitted wacko-liberalism turned me off. I can’t separate the artist from their politics. At least in this case.
